  • Security notice sign detailing the laws protecting Downing Street, the Prime Minister's address in Westminster London. Section 128 of the Serious Organised Crime and Police Act 2005 restricts those gaining access to this and other protected site. Barriers have been there since 1920 but in 1982 access was more fully restricted with railings and a demountable gate. This was replaced by the current black steel gates in 1989. The increase in security was again due to an increase in violence, particularly by the IRA but otherwise to street protests such as the Poll Tax riot in 1990.
